I was completely screwed.

No, I wasn’t the only one screwed. Both Ryan and I were because we’d both crossed the line. Ryan already crossed the line when he kissed me the other night and now, he’d crossed it once again. I could’ve pushed him away, shoved him from me, or clamped a hand over my mouth. I saw the kiss coming and yet—I didn’t do anything to stop him.

I didn’t because I wanted it to happen.

Oh, god.

I wrapped myself in a blanket, pulling it around me and making myself look like a burrito. I covered my face with a pillow and screamed, successfully muffling it. Part of me hated myself for allowing the kiss to happen ‒ the part of me that knew better ‒ this was Ryan Bell that I’d kissed! My brother’s best friend who’d I known for so long. Hell, I hated the guy longer than I’d tolerated him and became friends with him. It didn’t make sense. I’d allowed him to kiss me and I’d allowed the way he did it. This all didn’t make sense. I’d become a jumbled mess of emotions now.

And then a part of me… seemed to wake up when I began seeing him in a different light. Spending time with him, talking to him, and even just being near him seemed to thaw the ice surrounding my heart. I became willing, responding to his touch, the vixen that had been asleep for years, woke up from a long slumber.

The vixen had come awake and no way in hell, would she be taking another nap.

Even imagining how he held me, how his lips attacked mine, how his hands roamed my body and made my knees go weak. I could feel the growing wetness in my core as my mind flashed back to what happened a couple of hours ago. My lips still tingled with his kiss, my skin still ablaze where his hands had touched me, and my core still wet from the feeling.

But all horniness aside, another part of me wondered…

Ryan had acted coldly last night when he’d left me on my own. He hadn’t called me all day nor did he send a text. Then it’d been only by chance that we met today and he didn’t even bother with an explanation. Ryan acted as if nothing happened between us last night. He acknowledged that we had a ‘date’ but it seemed like he’d forgotten the part where he’d kissed me.

Or maybe he didn’t think of it as a kiss. Maybe to him, it was simply two lips against each other, unmoving and without feelings. Maybe I was the only one who imagined the moment our lips met halfway, I was doused in a warmth I’d never imagined possible. I’d felt a completeness like I’d never experienced before—as confusing as it was beautiful.

I placed the pillow on my face again and screamed for the second time. The confusion this whole situation brought made my head ache. Aside from the blossoming headache, I’d developed another ache, a longing for his touch.
